Not so much to supplement income but because I`m a restless fidget Tink. My husband was ill for a very long time so I had to give up a job I loved to be at home more. I took a course in Swedish massage, found I was good at it and set up at home. It built up very well and the extra money was useful, but meeting new people and doing something interesting was fun.
Cake and dessert making for local delis and restaurants. I am going to be redundant at the end of this month so I will need to do a hell of a lot more baking! lol

I did it because I like to try new things and knew I could`t just be at home after an interesting job. It`s been one of the best things ever. I have a room I think you`d love. Low lights, soft music and candles. [down mike!] I do a firm but relaxing massage and word of mouth brought more clients than I had time for. I knew I had very strong hands and this was confirmed when I was doing a back massage on a very athletic [and dishy] guy. "Wow," he said. "I bet you don`t have trouble getting the lid off a pickle jar." Learn Tinks. You won`t regret it.
Drawing pen and inks, mainly of old buildings such as pubs and hotels, then turned into postcards and prints - and I get to hang onto the originals.
This week have just got 2 new commissions (one pub and one glorious old village church) , sold 3 prints and entered a competition known as "My Truro" for the end of April.....
